Soul of America is at stake

In The Landmark, June 21, 2007, in Editorials & Opinions, were two negative letters regarding Lew Evangelidis's recent voting record.I for one was very happy with his stance on same-sex marriage.

It distresses me that we are the only state in the union that has legalized this union. We have the constitutional right to vote on the marriage amendment. After 170,000 voters signed for this to be on the ballot, where is "We the people …" ? It is understandable that our governor who is an ex-ACLU lawyer would take the stance he has on this My representative (Precinct 2 in Sterling), who I highly esteem, disappointed me with a "no" vote. Lew: It takes guts to vote your conscience instead of listening to political noise.

We are in a battle for the soul of America. There are no more absolutes. What moral values are we teaching our children and grandchildren by removing faith and morality from our laws, courts, schools and marketplace? It depends on whether you share in a biblical worldview or another worldview.

My husband Arthur served in both theaters of war in WWII. He was on the beach in Normandy on D-Day and then participated in V-J Day in the Pacific. He was indeed a member of "The Greatest Generation." The American flag proudly flies over Lake Waushacum!
